The Toepener Handle is a Simple Solution for Public Restrooms
Meghan Young — March 10, 2011 — Lifestyle
Though the idea of using the toilet in a public restroom grosses some people out on its own, the idea of opening the door often leaves people warily wondering if they should just hold it in until home--the Toepener handle looks to change all of that. A simple solution to an age-old problem, the Toepener handle replaces a traditional handle with a foot-based one.
As a hands-free door-opening solution, the Toepener handle is long overdue as far as I'm concerned. For only $49.95, you can alleviate a person's stress level exponentially. I wouldn't be surprised if you could order a bulk amount for even less money.
Thanks to the Toepener handle, a person won't have to waste anymore extra paper towels to open the door with their hands.
